of the most evangelical and catholic-
spirited of Anglican divines. He
preached some time ago in a Presby-
terian Church ‘and raised, a buzz
around his .ecolesiastloal ears. He
now cOmes out in an address and
says unless Bishops are treated, witjh
' more fairness and consideration, soon
no right-minded and high-souled
man, who loves direct spiritual work
and, hates wasting precious time in
strife, will consent to be a Blsbop at
all. As the author of a popular
series of religious tracts Bishop Ryle
is best known. Such an evangelical
Christian must be annoyed by the
Romanising party of his church.
It will be remembered that he wrote

Wesleyan Conference, a very fra-
ternal letter more than a year ago on
the "occasion of his election. We

— The particulars of the double
tradegy in „ Yazoo City, Miss., are
enougli tamake every citizen shud-
der with shathe and sorrow. On the
night (if December 24 three white
men were killed and two others
wounded in an encounter with a
squad of negroes. The diffl'-ulty was
not the result of race or political
prejudice, but, from what we can
gather, was the bloody work of mean
whisky.-;. The first’-: trouble occurred
.In.a salami- between one QLU’.e. white
men and a negro. He went oil*, sum-
moned other friends, and returned
only to meet his death. The negroes
were promptly urrested and lodged
In jail. Two public .Tuectings'of tic
citizens were held when it was deter-
mined .that the prisoners should have
a fair trial in the courts. But on
Saturday night, the twenty-ninth
ultimq, aufarmed body of men over-
powered the jailor and lynched four
negroes. Buch violence is a stigma
upon any community and demands
condemnation-. There is no apology-
for this second • outrage however
dreadful the llrst. Every law-abiding
citizen is vitallly concerned to know
who were the . lynchers. Nothing is
so shocking to our civilization as. the
tyranny of lynch law.

It is a great comfort in our calam-
ity to find such universal sympathy
expressed for us by tire kind, noble
people of this city. Numerous doors
are thrown open to give us shelter
and a home, and our special friends
and relatives, Dr. James M. Hunt
and wife, insist that it is their right
andhave generously taken. UH .aJ l.mtn
the hearty hospitality of their ele-
gant home. Articles of wearing ap-
parel and money have been freely
supplied, The kind ladies are busy
plying their machines to supply
their needy sisters with something
to wear, and one .thoughtful ’and
liberal gentleman, friend, the only
one", by the way, in tile city who
rises high enough to do such a tiling,
has fitted me to'an entire suit of his
owh clotlies.
Not" only members of -our .own
church have been prompt and liberal
in supplying our wants, but even
those who before were comparative
.strangers to us have warmed our
hearts by their sympathetic and
valued attention. We feel profound-
ly grateful to eaclt and al 1/ ■>[, our
benefactors, and do earnesUy invoke
God’s choicest blessings to rest upon
them.
It is with a crippled and half-dazed
kind of feeling that we look out upon
the -future. Oh!- -if God will only
verify his promise that these light
afflictions, whicii are but for a mo-
ment, will work out for us a far more
exceeding and eternal weight of
glory, we will strive, from the depths
of our tSonseiousness, to say : “Thy
will be done.”

Mit F.ihtor : The house we re-
sided in was burned this morning
about three o'clock. We barely
esoaped with our lives with only the
Clothes in which we were sleeping.
How the fire originated we do not
know, only that it was>'eomiiiuui-
cated to our house from .the tenement
adjoining. But for the providential
awakening pf.Mrs. Kearney, my
wife’s mother, we would doubtless
all have been burned to death. Bhe
herself came very near perishing;
one 'moment more and sufioeation
would have been complete, l'or a
time we feared that she had Inhaled
the flames, but now find tliat she lias
escaped with-one hand and h§f face
burned not very severely. None of
the rest of us, wife, live chtldreu and
self, were hurt, Devout thanks be
unto our God foreyer aud forever.
It is hard to realize that our, earths
Iy store lias been swept away in one
hour, and' tliat we have absolutely
nothing of personal property save
the following articles, which were
rescued, viz ; one piano, two center-
tables, one writing-desk, the dishes
and plates which remained oft the
table from the evening meal, and a
portion of tlie silver 'spoons and
forks, Fortunately I ipyself had not
much money, .as I generally find an
urgent demaifd for it as soon as it
comes. In hand ; , but my wife had
been saving up little' sums- for a
special purpose until it aggregated
quite a little amount, but this; to-
gether with jewelry and trinkets of
her girlhood, as also three gold
watphes, one of them an heirloom,
was consumed.

This is a "story of a sea-port town.,
The scene is laid in Landsport, which
is readily recognized as Portland— the
Portland of other years. It is indeed a
charming book, full of incidents and
I revolutions .characteristic of the time
and place. What a grand time the boys
did have! While reading it, w.e almost
wish our lot had fallen among the
scenes ami sports of those days. One
reviewer ol the volume lias well said,
“While seeking to entertain, Mr. FI well

Years ago- the lloods in the north of
China were said to in 1 so severe as to
cover more than twenty thousand

of homeless and-foodless refugees arc
seen wandering about in every direc-

many calamities have fallen upon the
city of Tientsin rat'd the surrounding

temple where incense was oll'ered to
it, and the officials nil prostrated
themselves before It. This small rep-
tile, scarcely six inches long, was
placetl upon a Chinese, plate cover&d
witli yellow paper upon which to lie,-
antl a small piece of tiie same to cover
it with. And then tiie mandarins
again prostrated themselves before it,
and then the people wore allowed to
come land worship it. Theatricals
were given yi honor of it. its appro-

peril with you, my young friend;
tlio -excitement of games of hazard
sets you in a flame ; then comes a
small stake; then a larger. If you
win, you play to wiu more; if you
lose, you play on to make up your
-losses, Before you know it, you are
a gambler. Tiie only Hate aud sure
way is to stop before you begin.
lint it is not only from curd-tables
and faro-banks tliat mischief is -to be

tempted- to “take a small .risk ” in

tliat were playing up aud down in
tiie market. I liave known a Half
dozen mere lads to "pool” tlieir
earnings or tlieir pocket money-in a
venture. on a share or two of stock.
This rage for dabbling in stpeks
turns hundreds of young men into
actual gamblers, although they would

J plied to them. , They are ' not
jcked at the thing itself. Instead
feeling tliat only tliQ money lion-
ly earned is honestly, got, they are
seduced into hazardous ventures,
which, ill God’s sight, are aH genuine
gambling as any tliat is perpetrated
behind the locked doors of one of
those " hells " that defy the laws.

Bible, and God will prove it true.
•No iufldel can kufiw' anything about
God except wliat the Bibmells him.
The Bible furnishes no alignments to
overthrow itself. We kffow the ex-
cellence of its doctrines by experience,
and challenge- the world to teat tlieir
Truth by trial'. When setting out in
life I studied medicine,' but did not
enter upon tiie practice because I
feared tliat, after learning all I could
about the .science, tiie medicines I
should prescribe might do tiie patiqnta

But I can procluim tiie gospel witli
absolute certainty of its beuefloial
results to. all wlio receive it. It is
God’s riimedy for all human alule-
tious, and it never fails. Yet'l may
fail. Therein the danger lies. Wliat
vast. and fearful responsibility rests
upon a minister of Hie gospel.

O, that we could read! (). that, we
could preach ! Whole sufficient for
these things? Only those whom
God endows with powiir from on

“putting us in trust with the gospel."
Tills world confers no title so honor-

fairs ol its president, (heroin before re-

that il was receiving registered letters
-or money orders for Daupliln, or that it
was •Dauphin’s agent lor Any purpose

suspicion is not proof, that tlie bank is
receiving registered letters and money
orders for tlie uso of the Louisiana
State Lottery Company, and, strange to
say, there is no proof in this. case to
show that Dauphin in tins case had any
connection with "the Louisiana State
Lottery. . . < •• -

Thero is another perplexing question
attending the reception of adults, who
were baptized in infancy into the
church. Why do wo again go through
with the form of receiving them into
tlio church if they wore inducted into
tho church by baptism in infancy ? |
Let it be understood that baptized chil- |
Tlron are mombors of both the visible |
and invisible church or kingdom until j
they become individually accountable,
and then they are no longer members
nf tlie visible, unless they satisfy- anil
confirm tlie vows publicly taken by
llioir paronts in infancy, which act con-
stitutes liietu adult members ol tlie
visible cimrch of Christ. And tlioy are
bo longer lifomhera. of the invisible
oil li reli or kingdom, unless renewed in
tlie tompor and spirit of their minds.
it is quite possible, as I liav.o intl-
.'niateil, for tliem to bo, mombors of tlie
visible church without this ; hut not so
of tho invisible kingdom. There aro
dulios and obligations incumbent upon
adult members which have 110 hearing
( upon infant niembefs. Such, for. ex-
ample, us repentance, faith ami olje-
I (lienee. Whatever of these that ynuuy
he required 'of cliildren must iie dis-
, c.liargetl by tho paront. As parents
stand in tlio same relation to their cljil-
. dren that Ood dyos to us all, they aro
required to teach tlieir Children these
duties— to train them up in tho nurture,
-rear and admonition of tlie Lord.

The following heuutiful figure,
'Used by Bishop ( iranhery In a recent
sermon-; is at otice striking and sug-
gestive:
(The perfect Archer calls the deer
his own even before the shaft has
gone .from his how. Oh ! that God
may give us such faitli in the means
that we are employing for the salva-
tion of the. world. A faith to Olaini
success and victory as ours, even be-
fore we have reached it.
On the seventeenth of December
last the prohibitionists carried the
town of Columbia by a vote -of thirty
to ten. And on the twentieth ultimo
four wards in the parish were carried
'by a laige majority. Three wards
.held no election, as no liquor is sold
in either. So seven wards out of ten
have already declared for prohibi-
tion. Everything encourages the
cause of reform., Thorough organiza-
tion and zealous work will acWievea
glorious triumph. We do not expect
die millennium with the overthrow
of tile liquor traffic, but we do look
fo.ra great curse to be remo.yed, so
that grace may more abound, and
Scriptural holiness more rapidly
spread over the earth.
Another Episcopal clergymau haB
emulated Dr. Heber Newton in his
pronounced opposition to the ortho-
dox view of the inspiration of the
Scriptures— the Rev. Dr. llush, of
Staten Island. The following, 'from
the New York Sun, are wise words
from an unexpected quarter, and
our sister church would do well to'
heed them :
Is it not strange that the Epis-
copal Church nermits the utterance
in its pulpits of views regarding the
Bible which under.nitne the very
foundations ,of its theology? Take
away faith in the Scriptures as the
inspired, all-sufficient uipl unques-
tionable word of God; and there re-
mains nothing for tiiat theology to
rest upon. Iteason has replaced
faitli, and criticisiii lias supjVlahted
devout belief in the written word.

No system;" iet , so' marvellously
adapted to all conimiinities-aud all
conditions of society as Methodism.
Many suppose it eminently useful in
pioneer work, but lacks the conserv-
atism needed for older and denser
populations. It is good fd t the coun-
try, but fails in the cities. Those
who so imagine evidence dense ignp 7
ranee of history. The Loudon Meth-
odist Recorder, of recent date, says:
“ In no part of the United Kingdom
has Methodism so grown in the last
twenty-five years as in London.”
Bight in the great metropolis of its
birth, and where we would suppose
the conditions of growth are most
unfavorable for our itinerancy, tlie
increase has been greutest. We only
need to wisely work our wonderful
system tp perpetuate the Pentecostal
• glory of its early triumphs in old
Fetter Lane, Moorfields, and on
Kenuinglon Common.
The (Schenectady Union New j
York reports that the Bev. Dr. Bac-
cus has bail his sight restored alter
ten' years' blindness from cataract,
HU joy was unbounded in being
able to look upon, the faces of his
family again for the first tiffin ten
years. He had never seen his grand-
children. Many ofjria old friends
had so chhiiged that, though recog-
nizing their v dices, he knew not
their features. Borne whose hair he

meeting will be heightened because
of the long and painful separation^
Every augelip face will he a new and’

there will be no difficulty of recogni-

through a glass darkly; but then

Louisiana Conference.
1 Tills* body met oil Wednesday of
last week in tlie Caroiidelet Street
Church'; Bishop II. It. Kavanaugh
presiding. Nearly all the members
| responded to tlie first roll-call, and
1 quite a number of laymen. Most of
| the brethren from the rural districts
had the bronzed look of field service,
and each had the step and expression
iif courage and sclf-denlAl. Bbtfew'
sections of our wide connection de-
mand so much heroism and fortitude
to cultivate as a large area of Louisi-
ana. We honor tlie brave men who,
amid untold ^lifficulties, have kept
our Hag unfurled and preached a gos-
pel of free and full salvation in all
these lands. Their greeting of each
other was most cordial. In no other
body is there such an esprit dc corps
as in au Annual Conference of Meth-
odist! ministers. And these annual
gatherings nerve to keep alive the
warm attachment between comrades
in a common cause. We condole
with any preacher who Is bereaved
of this amiUal’prlviIege.
The devotional exercises of the
opening session had the glow of a
Ca nap-meet tug-. Buoh .fervent pray- -
ingaml-hearty. singing we have rare-
ly heard. It is well to stress the de-
votional spirit in Conference deliber-
ations. The morning worship should
not he a mere form, hut have the
genuine spirit and jower of true re-
ligion. It gives a^ooil key-note to
the day’s doings. Ambassadors of
God, assembled to confer about the
great interests of his kingdom, must
keep prominent not only tlie Mas-
ter’s business, but the Master’s
| Spirit.
The Conference organized by the
eh'etlon iif Dr.-C. F. Evans as secre-
tary end B. B. McCutchen, Esq., as
statistical secretary. One of the first
items of business transacted was the
adoption of a resolution requiring a
rearrangement of the roll of members
according to seniority of admissloli,
readmissiop or transfer into the Con-
ference. Such an order lias hereto-
fore not obtained. While the presid-
ing elders were, nut preparihg-4Ue
standing committees, 'Dr. DaVid
Morton, secretary of the Church Ex-
tension Society, was introduced, and
addressed the Conference in behalf
of that cause. It was a straightfor-
ward, business-like talk, in the spirit
of a man tremendously in earnest
and wholjy absorbed in ills work.
The General Conference acted wisely
in laying an embargo upon his or-
ganizing and executive brain, and
calling him to the leadership of a
new departure. Church extension
is already one of our most popular
collections, and soon wHl command
the largest liberality of Wur congre-
gations. We are especially desirous
that the Loan Fund of $500,000 shall
lie raised this Centenary year, and of
this we have little doubt. Dr. Mor-
ton intimated Hint 'some Centetfary
donations’ were expected- to that
fund that would at once astonish and
thrill the whole church. Bo mote it
speedily lie. The church extension
.anniversary was held oil Wednesday
night in . the spacious auditorium of
Carondelet, with addreAies liy Bishop
Kavanaugh and Dr. Morton. The
collection for dip. year exceeded
eleven hundred dollars, about seven ty
per cent, of tlie assessment.
Centenary College and Mansfield
Female College were presented to
the Conference in most excellent re-
ports, the formerwritten by Bishop
Keener, the latter by Dr. F. M.
Grace. Centenary irf" having com-
paratively a very prosperous term),
with a larger graduadng T c]ass than
has appeared .upon that platform
since the war. President Bush is
demonstrating more and more his
eminent fitness for the position he
occupies. ' Under all ,(he circum-
stances Mansfield Female College Ik
doing .remarkably well. After the
shock and widespread effect of last
summer's tragedy, many friends
feared, that its halls could not be
opened this term. But President
Grace has evidenced great caution
and wisdom, and already the college
I has quite regained public confidence
and favor. -That institution has had
au honored history in North Louisi-
ana Methodism, and is a real neces-
sity amoug tlie conservative forces
of our churcli'iii that vast and fruit-
ful section.
Bishop Parker occupied the chair
from time to time, much to the
gratification of his old Conference
comrades. This was their first op-
portunity of observing him in that
capacity, hiH episcopate heretofore
being exercised entirely in the Btate
of Texas. He rules with diligence
and dispatches business with east
and accuracy. A Bishop off' duty at
Conference must enjoy a comfortable
, atfff comTflttb'eut' mind. lie has not
the care of the appointments to tax
liis'brain and sympathies, and often
disturb the hours that should, be
given to sleep. Possibly few of us
appreciate how great is the strain
upon a Bishop in endeavoring to
make such disposition of our forces
as best to conserve the interests of
the church and not to afilict a single
brother or liis family. Providence
in the cabinet ^the secret of his wise
decisions.
The reports of the preachers, con-
sidering the overflow and drought;
from both of which Louisiana has
suffered, were very creditable and
encouraging. They had stood brave-
ly at their posts, and worked with a
zeal and ability that has been honor-
ed of God. We know fio nobler type
of manhood than a true, conscien-
tious Methodist preacher.
“.Missionary day,” conducted by
Dr. Kelley, was an occasion long id
be remefnbered. After the mission-
ary treasurer’s report wns read he
called out first the laymen and then
the preachers to state the difficulties
in the way of raising the collections.
When these bad been given the doc-
tor- took the platform; and- for an
hour or more delivered one of the
most practical, near chin;/, aggressive
and earnest missionary addresses
we ever.lieard. He made points and
sharpened them. Never once did he*
utter a venerable platitude. Some
may difi'er and others object, but-the
address Will -provoke thought and
good worhsr-' ■ - — , —
. The Centenary. Committee organ-
ized, outlined their work for the year
and appointed a wide-awake execu-
tive committee. Dr. C. W, Carter
was appointed to preach the Cen-
tenary sermon before the next Con-
ference. ■*
On Saturday Bro. L. D. Palmer,
business manager of the Publishing
House, arrived fresh from the Florida
Conference and at once proceeded to
business. He was warmly welcomed,
and found generous patronage in
this body of marked ‘coiiuectioual
loyalty.
President Bush, of Centenary Col-
lege, made an address, in behalf of
that institution that awakfened a
hearty response. His speech Was in-
terrupted by au impromptu collec-
tion of |20.0 for the purpose of susr
taiuing a young licentiate who is
there preparing for the itinerant
work.

The Advocate, for 1884.
Our patronizing Conferences have”
all heid recent annual sessions, en-
dorsed the business and editorial
conduct of the Advocate, and
pledged themselves to increased
effbrt in extending its circulation.
We are grateful. for expressions of
confidence and appreciation, and en-
ter upon the new year’s work with
fresh inspiration and aspiration. It
is our purpose-to glvtj all diligence to
its several departments, and make
the Advocate more and more a
pastoral helper and home com-
panion. Successful pastors write us
that the paper is an efficient assist-
ant in all local and cohnectlonal en-
terprises. Every siich testimony is
an additional argument in favor of
increased circulation. What benefits
the few ought (o bless the many.
With an Advocate in every Meth-
odist family au upward movement
would 1 be, given to the church, the
results of which eternity alone can
compute.
DuringtliUOentenary year special
attention will he given to the pecu-
liar doetrlnes that have character-
ized our Methodism and the record
of God’s signal mercies to us as a
church for the past hundred years.
Scraps of local history will be pub-
lished, indicating the measure and
character of growth in different com-
munities. And here we would sug-
gest the appointment of u local Cen-
tenary Committee in each pastorate,'
who shall he specially charged with
this work. At tlie Centenary mass-
meeting in May or October this his-
tory might be read, and then care-
fully preserved for some future his-
torian.
We invite correspondence, hut ask
thgt due attention be had to the
virtueof condensation. Short articles
command readers, while long ones
are passed over wKh a single glance
at the head-line and subscription.
Occasionally a brother writes that he
Is aware his communication exceeds
proper limits, but he could not ab-
Ineylatet, without affecting the
strength or continuity of his argu-
ment. Iu nearly all hucIi cases the
argument is never read. A reputa-
tion for prolixity is fatal to -a news-
paper correspondent. A very esteem-
ed 1 friend and brother minister told
us he had never preached but one
long sermon in his life, hut unfortu-
nately that was his first, knd it gave
him a reputation for pulpit endur-
ance. Verbum sap. ■
Short communications, if accept-
able, can always be utilized. But
longer ones, however worthy, have
to be reserved or consigned to the
waste-basket. We do not promise
t h e' publication of everything sent.
Our best judgment must decide its
adaptability to the wants of our read-
ers. The non-appearance of an article
is no impeachment of its worthiness.
It might be very acceptable to an-
other character of paper or to the
"Advooatk at another time. Home-
limes a little offense is unavoidable
TStttipg coaunuaisatioR, but net
unfrequently a writer has cause to
thank au editor for such decision.
Bfit we wgnt the brethren to' write,
aud keep our columns sparkling
with good news from the churches.
' We commence the year 1884 under
more favorable auspices tha.tr when
, we balled the first morning of 1883.
Wo bade .farewell to the old year
with some feelings of gratulation.
It was with tlie safer rejoicing of
him who takes q(T the harness after
successful conflict. The Advocate
now gops into twenty-five hundred
more homes, than a year ago. We
have appreciative readers hot only, in
every Southern. State and in every
State where Southern Methodism
has been planted, but in twelve
Northern States, besides the follow-
ing foreign countries; Flngland, Ire-
land, Scotland, Turkey, China,
Central America and Mexico. This;
Is a large constituency. May it be
more than doubled before we go up
to Baltimore lo celebrate the Cen-
tenary of 'the old Christmas Confer-
ence, that determined tjie organic
life of American Methodism, With
many tbankB for the favoTs of the
past, from God and the church, we
look out upou tlie-laborftanil reapon-
sibilities of a new year.
Report of Trustees of Centenary College,
of Louisiana.
To the president and members of^
the Louisiana Annual Conference,
the trustees of Centeuary College, of
Louisiana, would respectfully re-
port :
That during tlie past year this in-
stitution lias hail as good attendance
upon the regular college course as at
auy time since the war,. Thai large
numbers of Htudenta have from the
beginning of this college attended its
halls wlio, though tliey have but
partfiilly completed the regular
course, yet have received a good
education. V _ : •
The faculty lias been strengthened
by the election of l'rof. Harrison to
the clmir of mathematics. The at-
tendance was large at the last eom-
lUAljcehieut, and the speeches and
scholarship of the graduates were as
creditable to the college as those of
any previous class.
The west whig of the college lias
b.een repaired throughout one story,
and other repairs are still going on.
The facilities offered by the institu-
tion to young m eh who desire an
education are unusually good. The
trustees believe that the cost of tui-
tion, hoard, washing, room relit, fuel
and lights is less. than at any other
(lotlcge in the Southern States. Tliey
have had occasion to compare this
cost with oilier colleges of tlie Meth-
odist Episcopal ClTUVcli, Sputh, ail'd
believe that the year’s entire.' ex-
penses are nowhere put at so low a
figure, say $175 for everything. This
lias been secured by the devotion of
the faculty' to their work at scarcely
■ living rates, in the hopes that by-'
and-by a more remunerative attend-
ance upon their instruction would
set in from both - Mississippi and
Louisiana. ~
The board believes that Centenary
College is doing a good work for
Methodism iu the Southwest, and
has been lurgely useful in preserving
the labors of men who have gone to
their reward by maintaining the
reputation of the church as a teacher
of youth. The college remains as a
monument of tlie Centenary 1, sub-
scriptions and public spirit evoked
from the Methodism of 1839, in be-
half of higher" education. It ljolds
iu its walls and history the memory
of McGeheC, WinaUs, Lane, Bur-
rows, and a host of noble spirits who
labored.to establish it and give it to
the church, ub au expression of their
gratitude to God, for the rise uud
work of WeHleyau Methodism.
While many.moniiments have crum-
bled aud yielded up their charge;
this, tliauks be to God, abides. After
the war it survived to find that its
enJCwiment had . vanished ; ' but
friends were, again raised up who
started it upon a new career of use-
fulness. Mr. Edward J. Gay, Mr.
William It. Stuart, Mr. May, of
Richardson & May, Dr. B. H. Moss,
by lestament, were those who con-
tributed ,the largest sums. Many
others gave of their -poverty. The
buildings, were repaired aud the
halls opened. Since then numbers
of young men have received an edu-
cation who but for Centenary would
have failed to receive one.
The trustees are grateful for the
educational collection ordered by
both the patronizing Conferences,
and believe this to he a valuable sup-
plement if the preachers will bring
it faithfully before their congrega-
tions.
It .is to be. hoped that the two Con-
ferences and the Methodists of Mis-
sissippi and Louisiana will in this
coming Centenary year hcknowledge
the claims of this venerable institu-
tion upon tlie church, and give to it
jo mean share of the off erings which
may be made In gratitude to God for
our common Methodism. It is ask-
iug nob too much that it receive at
(MUUWf 17, 1M4.
least fifty thousand dollars from this
source? In conclusion the board
prays that the H$>IJr Spirit rtiay move
the Louisiana Conference to devise
liberal things for her first-born insti-
tution of learning, if it be not the
very oldest of ail tlie colleges iu- the
Southern. connection.
Very respectfully,

I bad tlie pleasure on the sixth in-
stant of listening to a liistorical and
highly instructive centennial dis-
course by the Rev. Thomas C. Wier,
presiding eldei; of the Columbus dis-
trict, ’.North Mississippi Conference,
iu the Methodist Church in this
| place. His text was: "Behold how
great a matter a little lire kindleth.”
-James Hi, 6, Without ftny refer -
euce to the connection of the text , 1
he commenced by stating that the
Unit Sunday in January, 1S84, had
teen designated by the Central Cen-
tenary ^Committee as the time for
preaching a centennial sermon, lie
then briefly referred to the centen-
| uial of the organization of Methodist
societies in England in 173fi,^<7f-Un?
centennial of the’ first Methodist
preaching in .America in 1770, and
then of the present centennial year,
commemorative of. the organization
of the Methodist Episcopal Church
iu Baltimore In I7&4, by Dr. Coke
and Bishop Asbury, and that the
wise plgu adopted of a general epis-
copal oversiglit of the whole church,
thatof presiding elders over districts,
an itinerating ministry, and Quar-
terly Conferences and Annual Con-
ferences, all combined and working
harmoniously, constituted the great
factor iu the hand of God iu giving
“uch unparalleled success to the
Methddist Church, lie also spoke of
the doctrines 4 of .the Methodist
Church tiH being nothing new or
fanutiyal, hut in accordance with the
Plain teaching of the Holy Scrip-

Methodist 'Church Jn the United
blates, Canada, England and other
countries was edifylug' and, even
Mtouishjug to those not informed on
that subject. Ills remarks on tlie
doctrines of the Methodist Church
wan listened to with deep interest.

was hoped for, aud confidently ex-

his remarks he referred to how tlie
term Methodist originated, not , be-
cause Wesley acted- In all he did
facthodically, or that method iu all
tliiugs is a pari of religion, hut as a
term of reproach. Tills refhark set
your correspondent to thinking of
tlie many reproachful epithets ap-

^'SoM KtlllNu To A\ l oin.— Avoid the
scolding tone. A tired mother- may
find it hard to do this; but it| is she
•wlio will get most good by observing
the -rule. The tone of scolding wears
upon the throat, just where the woman,
who i* not over strong is apt to feel the
ache of extreme fatigue. The children,
too,* who are great imitators, will be
snre to catch the scolding tone, ami will
talk to their dolls, to one another, and
by-and-by to. their own* children, very
jiitich as their mothers are now talking
to them. .Jly all means. avoid this bad
atone, allyou who govern others.* "
Tiie^EIot Wajeh Hkmkpv.— A t the
present ‘-moment the fashionable cure
for dyspepsia is hot water, which, aHer
all, is only an old fashion rex ived.
London News commenting upon this,
says that the hot water treatment is
taketr externally- in London tvs a-coa*
rnetic aud internally in America for the
stomach.. «.nd that as ‘aiding propaganda
.•sin jvogreas. •

and distress in my stomach, and a blue
pill every other night to relieve tlie
constipation. The morphine produced
such a deathly nauHea that 1 could not
take it* and the..blue pill tailed to relieve
mv constipation.
In this, condition I passed nearly a
year, \v holly unfit for business, while
the effort to think was irksome and
painful. Mv blood became impover-
ished, and 1 suffered from incapacity
with au appalling sense of misery and
general apprehension of coming evil'.
I passed sleopl(Jy» nights and was
troubled with irregular action of the
heart, a constantly fovorish condition
and the most excruciating tortures in
1113’* stomach, living for days on rice
water and gruel, ami, indeed, the diges-
tive futicUons seemed to beentirely de-
stroyed. ^ t .
It was natural that'whiln in this con-
dition I should become hypochondrical
and fearful suggestions of selt-destruc-
tion occasionally 'presented theniHelves.
I experienced an insatiable desire for
sleep, "but on retiring would lie awake
for a long time tormented with troubled
reflections, and when at last I dkl lall
iiLLo an uneasy slumber of short dura-
tion, it was disturbed by horrid dreams
In this' condition 1 determined to t>ak<
a trip to Europe, but in spite of all the
attentions of physicians and change of
Jif’.ene and climate, I did not improve
anti so returned home with uo oarthly
hope of ever again boing able tt) leave
the house. .
Among the numerous friends that
called on me was out' who had been
afflicted somewhat similarly to myself,
but who had been restored to perfoct
health. Upon his earnest recommen-
dation I began the same treatment he
had etnploved, but with little hope of
being benefited. At first 1 experienced
little, if any relief, except that it did
not distress my stomach as other reme-
dies or o\ ; en-Yood had done. 1 contin-
ued its use, however, and after tho third
bottle could see a marked change for
tho better, and now after the fifteenth
bottle 1 am happy to state that I am
again able to attend to my prol<*ssional
duties. 1 sleep well, nothing distresses
me that V oat, t go from day do day

Dblicioi'k Sour. — Iioil a ainsll cup ol
riee in a little oi*er a nuart of milk.
Boll until it is so anft tlmt it will pass
through a hieve with hut little elVort on
your part. •Grate tlie nicely bleached
parts of the heads of celery, and add to
the strained rice ; add to'this one (juart
of strong beef stock,- or-that made from
inutton.^or veal may be used ; it should
be strained, and be dear anil iree from
lumps when it is put in' with the ricS.
Let this boil until the celery ia tender.
< Seasbu with a dash of cayenne pepper, 1
or a little curry powder, arid plenty of |
salt. If it is dlmt!Ult_to obtain celery i
when you wish to have this soup, celery
salt may be used, or even celery Heed
or extract. •
Mutton Broth.— A superior mutton 1
broth may he made by attending to the \
following directions : —To four quarts
of water put ope pound of pdarl barley ;
and a tablespoonfiil of salt yii a close-
fitting pan ; boil this for two hours
quickly; it will, then lie of /the consis-
tency of thick cream ('then /add vegeta-
bles, namely, dided carrdts, turnips,
onions, celery, white cabbage sliredu ;
boil until tender, then add the mutton
stock (this can he made from mutton
and veal bones, i well strained and
skimmed of the fat. This is an excel-
lent soup for invalids arid children.
Graham Custard Pik':— Funny and
good. One quart of milk, two eggs,
half a cu p of sugar, half a cup of Graham
dour. Beat the eggs and stir all lo-
f ether. The Graham flour sinks to the
ottom of the pie disli as the custard j
bakes aud forms a good crust. It may
appear to he soaked, as custard pie-
c rust often is, hut it is not in the least
“clammy.” It dissolves '‘easily in the
mouth and is entirely digestible. A
pleasant cream, pie is made from the
same recipe, leaving old the eggs aud
using creamy milk or thin-cream.
Fon vhk Fowls.— L ay in a lot. of
road dust. When we say road dust we
do not mean roekH and clam shells.
Keep it perfectly dry.' Put it aside
for winter use. Have two or three
’ cheies boxes whloh dll . dual.
Pat these boxes where the sun cau
warm the dust. The hens will get
down in the dust. aud kill the insects
■ on them.
I remedy as taking the highest possible
rank in the treatment of all diseases
marked by debility, loss of appetite,
and all other symptoms of stomach
and digestive disorders. It is over-
whelmingly superior to the tonics, bit-
ters, and dyspepsia cures of the day;
and Is certain to he so acknowledged
by the public universally. Thousands
of people to-day are going to-premature
graves with those serious (llsijases, that
I have above described, and to all such
I would say; “ IOo not lot your good
judgment bo governed by your preju-
dices, but give the above named remedy
a fair and patient trial, and I believe
I you will not only be rowarded by a
I perfect restoration to health, but yen
I will also be convinced that the medical
profession does not possess all the
i knowledge there is embraced In meqi-
I cal science.''

A note from “ Giltieroy ” brings us
the following gratifying intelli-

The Paine institute, Augusta, Ga.,
opened with about forty pupils the
first day. They have rented a school-
room, where they have ample room
and. good accommodations. Dr.
Callaway and Prof. Walker are
greatly encouraged. The outlook is
favorable, so Dr. Haygood writes me.

pounds of sauerkraut, boiled till tender
in water, with a half pound of butter,
an earthenware or a porcelain-linen
pot,. closely covered is the best for this
purpose, i When it has boiled quite
tender the kraut should be put iu a
sieve or strainer to thoroughly drain.
Meanwhile put into a saucepan s quar-
ter of s pound of butter, a tablespomt-
ful of flour, 'and a pint of sour cream.
When tltis. boils it is to be poured over
the kraut and well shaken together.
The oysters are to lie stewed slowly,
with only the addition of a little pepper,
in their own juice. About twenty-tivo
oysters Should he allowed to each pound
of kraut, It is then to be arranged in
the dish, a layer of sauerkraut and a'

council of doctors aud had them make
